MaxPreps Regional Computer Football Rankings

There are no changes in the top spots for any of the five regions of the MaxPreps Regional High School Football Ratings, but there are several new teams that join the ratings this week.

Kahuku becomes the first Hawaii team to join the Farwest region this year after moving to 6-0 on the season. Meanwhile in the Northeast, Williamstown comes in at No. 7 with a 4-0 record. In the South, Norcross joins the list to replace one-time top- ranked Grayson.

The regional rankings are based on the MaxPreps Freeman Computer Rankings.
